Setup and Assembly

Before first use, wash all removable parts (except the motor base) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

1. Place the motor base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
2. Insert the filter basket into the motor base, ensuring it is seated firmly.
3. Place the juicer cover over the filter basket, aligning the spout with the opening on the motor base.
4. Attach the pulp container to the back of the juicer cover.
5. Secure the safety locking bar by lifting it and hooking it over the juicer cover until it clicks into place. The juicer will not operate unless the locking bar is correctly secured.

7. Insert the food pusher into the feed chute.

Operating Instructions

Prepare your fruits and vegetables by washing them thoroughly. The extra wide chute allows for whole fruit processing for many items, reducing the need for pre-chopping. Remove large seeds or hard pits from fruits like peaches or avocados.

1. Ensure the juicer is properly assembled and the safety locking bar is engaged.
2. Plug the power cord into a 220-240V, 50Hz electrical outlet.
3. Turn the control dial to the desired speed setting:
   • Speed 1: For softer fruits and vegetables (e.g., oranges, grapes, tomatoes).
   • Speed 2: For harder fruits and vegetables (e.g., apples, carrots, celery).
   • Speed 3: For very hard produce or maximum extraction (e.g., beets, ginger).
   • "Clean" Setting: Activates the rotating self-cleaning brush for quick rinse.
4. Gradually feed fruits and vegetables into the feed chute using the food pusher. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force produce into the chute.
5. Allow the juicer to process the produce completely before adding more.
6. Once juicing is complete, turn the control dial to "0" (off) and unplug the appliance.

Note: The juicer features overheat protection. If the motor overheats, the appliance will automatically shut off. Allow it to cool down for approximately 20-30 minutes before resuming operation.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your juicer. Always unplug the juicer before cleaning.

Quick Clean (Using "Clean" Setting)

1. After juicing, pour a glass of water into the feed chute while the juicer is still assembled.
2. Turn the control dial to the "Clean" setting for a few seconds. This activates the rotating self-cleaning brush to rinse the filter basket.
3. Turn off and unplug the juicer.

Thorough Cleaning

1. Unplug the juicer and disassemble all removable parts: food pusher, juicer cover, filter basket, pulp container, and juice collector.
2. Rinse all removable parts under running water to remove large pulp residues.
3. Wash these parts in warm, soapy water. Use the provided cleaning brush to thoroughly clean the mesh of the filter basket.
4. Important: The product care instructions state "Hand Wash Only" and "Is dishwasher safe: No". Do not place any parts in a dishwasher.
5. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
6. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling or storing.
